Still arguing over Yanny and Laurel? Here’s what your favourite celebs hear

While you still argue over whether it’s ‘Yanny’ or ‘Laurel’ that you’re hearing in that viral audio clip, check out what team the celebs are on, and get an explainer on why it’s happening in the first place.

Even after the Yanny vs Laurel viral audio clip has been explained - it’s because our ears hear different pitches - the internet is still debating about it. But in another example of how deep down, celebrities are just like us, several of them (including the musician Yanni) took to Twitter to declare what they hear when they play the clip.

Here are a bunch of reactions we found. While many Hollywood celebrities such as Mindy Kaling and Sarah Hyland are in the ‘Yanny’ camp, others such as TV hosts Ellen DeGeneres and Stephen Colbert are convinced they heard ‘Laurel’.

THE FUCK IS GOING ON ITS SO BLATANTLY LAUREL AND TRUMP IS SO EVIL AND THE DRESS WAS ACTUALLY BLACK AND BLUE LIKE NOT AN OPINION LIKE IT WASSSSS BLACK AND BLUE. AND TRUMP IS ACTUALLY DUMB, LIKE, THESE ARE FACTS WHY ARE WE DISCUSSING LIKE ITS NOT OK I NEED TO SLEEP NOW GOOD DAY SIR

A BuzzFeed video tracked down the person who posted the clip on Reddit, and later traced it back to a Vocabulary.com entry for ‘Laurel’, confirming the intended word. But after speaking to an academic, it was learned that the clip sounds different when played at different pitches.
